Muito legal a extensão. Você coloca ela e acessa seus sites normalmente, dai uma ou outra palavra ali no meio ele vai traduzir e exibir a palavra em inglês. Você clica na palavra em inglês e se já souber você marca o ✓ (já sei essa) e se não pode adicionar nas sua lista de palavras para treinar, além de conseguir ouvir a pronúncia dela ali mesmo.
E você ainda pode fazer as lições que ele tem para aprender palavras novas por tema. Muito interessante!
